Too happy to do owt productive, I'm just gonna sit here and smile.

Northwich Poetry Slam!! Coming to a town near me :-)

Looking forward to this weekend's hangover #ifyouknowyouknow

All I want for Christmas is to be a famous enough poet that I get invited on the Podcast, Behind the bastards. Not too much to ask I hope? @coolzonemedia.bsky.social is a very cool network, you should check them out.

Excellent gig at the salty dog last night!. Poetry and Punk, marvelous.

Game time

Tomorrow night! Punk an Poetry featuring my face!

Doors at 8, I'm on about 8:30

Well then I'm in luck!

Far too excited about this gig! Salfordian poets and punk bands mix right? 😉

Have you ever seen a poet support act for a post hardcore punk band? well you're in luck, cos in one weeks time I'm gonna scratch that itch!

For one night only Half Beard Half Poet will take to the stage at the legendary Salty Dog to lend support to the fantastic "Fire Blanket"

Or we should chastise him for backing down.

Even this Englishman living in England and being very English agrees.

Gutted I missed him playing in Manchester, but I'm a disorganised twonk.

Could I be so bold as to as for a "northwest" button to be added to the filter? Poetry scene in Manchester and Liverpool is popping and the Morecambe Poetry festival is legendary!

This Bkuesky thing isn't as addictive as Facebook. And I appreciate it.

Absolute knobend

I've been studying Robert Frost and Iambic metre recently. Think I'm getting the gist.

Judging by that map I'm moving to Siberia!

Beautiful building

Twas a lovely bit of verse chap

After The... - By Conor A YouTube video by HALF BEARD HALF POET

The first poem in the first poetry book I bought at the first poetry gig I attended, after accidently wandering into the wrong cafe looking for a coffee.

It made me think "I can"

I feel seen.
